I have been shakened.
Stirred.
Finally.
It only took 56 years.
My confidence laughs at me.
I find I can not yet make lemonade out of lemons, here lately.
Lately, I question.
Lately, I wonder.
Lately, I am hesitate on taking the next steps.
Ah, hard, why must you be so hard.
You challenge me at EVERY turn. You ask me if I am sure. You demand an accounting of my choices.
Ack. Crapola. Heckamiah Jeremiah.
For the first time, though, I face you. I refuse to run from you. I will NOT run from these questions.
Shakened.
Stirred.
Awakened.
Ah.
Aha!
I wonder what life shall bring out in me.
wondering,

#YourLifeMattersToMe
Note: The closer I get to my birthday, beloveds, the more old fears want to rush out of everywhere to confront me. I fight on.
I just stopped by to encourage someone. Starting with me. Be encouraged. Don’t allow your age, the unknown, your bills, lack or any other thing to cause you to question your dreams. Keep moving towards them. Keep moving FORWARD. Keep looking UP. We SHALL get there. One day. Some day. Some kind of way.
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on being…YOU!
